Rough Roman Memes

A place to meme about the glorious ROMAN EMPIRE (and Roman Republic, and Roman Kingdom)! Byzantines tolerated! The HRE is not.
RULES:
-
No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, etc. The past may be bigoted, but we are not.
-
Memes must be Rome-related, not just the title. It can be about Rome, or using Roman aesthetics, or both, but the meme itself needs to have Roman themes.
-
Follow Lemmy.world rules.
Not sure where to start on Roman history?

Was it just bigotry against barbarians, or ~~real people~~ actual ethnic groups? I only know Dovahhatty by some kerfluffle where he ended up taking down some video on the Jewish-Roman Wars because neonazis were flooding the comments and using it for their own, less civilized purposes, or something like that.
Mhh, he used basically every Jewish stereotype known to me to portray the Jewish Uprisings. But Jews were pretty prevalent throughout the history of the Empire anyway, so even through he took down some of the videos the stereotypes still are present in his videos.
Oof.
